Wide-compatibility varieties (WCVs) are a special class of rice germplasm that is able to produce fertile hybrids when crossed to bothindicaandjaponicasubspecies. Previous studies determined ‘Dular’ and 02428 as two WCVs and identified a number of QTLs as having large effects on fertility of inter-subspecific hybrids. In this study, we developed five near-isogenic lines (NILs) for three of the QTLs,f5,f6andS5, by backcrossing and marker-assisted selection, using ‘Dular’ and 02428 as the donors and ‘Zhenshan 97’ as the recipient. Three of the NILs each carried one introgressed allele, and two NILs each carried two introgressed alleles in combinations. The NILs were testcrossed to anindicatester ‘Nanjing 11’ and ajaponicatester ‘Balilla’. The results showed that thef5allele from ‘Dular’ (f5-Du) is a neutral allele conferring wide compatibility, with a large effect on both pollen and spikelet fertility, and thef6allele from ‘Dular’ (f6-Du) is a neutral allele for spikelet fertility with smaller effect. TheS5allele from 02428 (S5-08) was confirmed to be a neutral allele for spikelet fertility. It is likely thatf6andS5are the same locus as deduced by their genomic locations and effects. The results also showed that even in combination, two neutral alleles of different loci were not able to produce normal fertility hybrids in typicalindica–japonicacrosses. The implications of the findings in rice breeding programs are discussed.
